FiG. 245.—The lateral half of an eye of a child aged two years showing the iris thickened with tubercular nodules. There are deposits on the back of the lower part of the cornea, the so-called "mutton-fat" variety of keratitis punctata. Specimen in the R. Lond. Ophth. Hosp. Museum. ically. the lines of demarcation of the nodules may be seen to be very sharply defined with but little cell infiltration of the surrounding tissue. The mode of termination of a case of disseminated mili- ary tubercle of the iris varies. The nodules may dis- appear and leave but little permanent damage behind them, constituting what has been termed attenuated tubercle. The disease may spread backward, involving the ciliary body, and by destroying the source of supply of the intra- ocular fluid bring about an atrophic or shrunken condition of the globe. The miliary nodules may run into one.
